Huge free throws by Kevin Kucera...Bears lead by 3 with :26 second left.

Buzzer beater goal tending costs Chicago a chance at the overtime.

Washington University wins 70-68.

That has to be even more heartbreaking then when the Maroons got North Parked...

[WUPHF]

Watched the replay on that...Clinton Hooks definitely got that shot off in time even if it was unlikely to go in.  Blaine Crawford reaches up and blocks the ball...goal tending.

I have never seen anything like that...

[Titan Q]

That was really crazy.

I think that was the right call.  I believe the Wash U shot was released in time...and I believe it was a goaltend by Crawford.

[WUPHF]

Absolutely crazy...

I watched that last shot about 15 times.  I am 99% sure that ball is in the air and above the hoop when Blaine Crawford blocks the ball.

I am surprised the officials had the wherewithal to make that call even after the buzzer.

The only part I wasn't sure about, due to the camera angle, was whether the ball was in the cylinder or way short.  But seems like they got it right.

Somewhat surprised they called it, honestly.  Would have been real easy to find a way to just say "no basket" and go to OT.

The ball was definitely out in time.  I still can't 100% tell where the ball was relative to the cylinder, but I think they made the right call.

Also, I'd say good no call on Jake Knupp's drive to the basket.

You might now the details more than me - at one point, it was still goaltending, even if the ball wasn't near the hoop, so long as it was still above the rim when it was touched.  It's the whole "on the way down" thing.  Crazy ending, though.

I have a picture/screen grab to show it was out of his hand before the buzzer... I just have to figure out how to get it in here - never knew how.

Here we go, I hope...

No debate on that part.

Wasn't sure, Titan... just wanted to be helpful since I had the shot.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Found the shot from another angle and grabbed a screen shot of the goal tending... good job by the officials, in my opinion.

[Titan Q]

The shot had zero chance at going in...it was going to hit the front edge of the front of the rim.  But I do think goaltending was the right call.

Yeah... no need to jump there at all... just let it go. I have seen a lot of players who do that when the buzzer sounds for whatever reason. Just let it go.
